Position Prospect of the Day: Jesus Aguilar, 1B, Indians (Double-A Akron): 4-5, HR, R, 3 RBI, K; plus raw power; fringy hit tool; I’m not the biggest fan but I did hear one source who believed he could be in the lineup every day.

Micah Johnson, 2B, White Sox (Low-A Kannapolis): 3-4, 3B, 4 R, RBI, BB, 4 SB; plus runner; hit tool will be challenged at higher levels; gap power; did not like him defensively at second; plays very hard at all times; stock is on the rise but will have to prove his hitting ability after promotion; .303/.389/.477 with 6 2B, 5 3B, 1 HR, and 29 SB in 109 at-bats;

Sean Coyle, 2B, Red Sox (High-A Salem): 0-4, 3 K; has made great improvements at the plate in 2013, but nights like this happen.

Maikel Franco, 3B, Phillies (High-A Clearwater): 0-5, 2 K; have gotten very good reports about Franco; this was just one of those nights; .300/.345/.538 with 13 2B and 6 HR in 130 at-bats this season.

Tyson Gillies, OF, Phillies (Double-A Reading): 0-4, 2 K; after a demotion back to Double-A, it looks like Gillies is now on his way off the prospect radar.

Michael Taylor, CF, Nationals (High-A Potomac): 0-4, 3 K; the swing never really did it for me; has trouble recognizing spin. Last year the defense was very good, but he took a few sloppy routes to the ball tonight.
